Sec. 667.830  When will the Administrative Law Judge issue a decision?

    (a) The ALJ should render a written decision not later than 90 days 
after the closing of the record.
    (b) The decision of the ALJ constitutes final agency action unless, 
within 20 days of the decision, a party dissatisfied with the ALJ's 
decision has filed a petition for review with the Administrative Review 
Board (ARB) (established under Secretary's Order No. 2-96), specifically 
identifying the procedure, fact, law or policy to which exception is 
taken. Any exception not specifically urged is deemed to have been 
waived. A copy of the petition for review must be sent to the opposing 
party at that time. Thereafter, the decision of the ALJ constitutes 
final agency action unless the ARB, within 30 days of the filing of the 
petition for review, notifies the parties that the case has been 
accepted for review. Any case accepted by the ARB must be decided within 
180 days of acceptance. If not so decided, the decision of the ALJ 
constitutes final agency action.
